Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 24: The resurrection | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! It’s that time of the week again, so let’s check in with Nick, who has just about calmed down after a frustrating time last week. Can he and his Portugueezers bounce back after a less than impressive recent run of results? Here’s Nick with the latest…

The league table isn’t looking great, but things aren’t as bad as they seem because we have a game in hand, and if we can win that, it’ll take us up to joint 3rd place, so let’s try and do just that to start this week as we mean to go on…

Donny On Top – Part 7 | @FMCM_FC

Hello and welcome back to Doncaster for season 7. Last season was absolutely unreal. We had a horrible start to the season. We tweaked our formation and brought in a couple of new players and managed to sneak into the playoffs. We lost our top striker but his replacement, 16 year old Dion Rust, took us past Norwich at Wembley and in to the Premier League! Our squad is no where near strong enough but can we survive our first season with the big boys? Let’s find out.

Turf Roar: Season 1 – part 2 | @Taitanator

We left the Clarets at the top of Division 2 after 15 games after discovering that Kyle Lightbourne seems to be a little bit of a league two legend.  Unfortunately he has been racking up disciplinary points even quicker than goals, and so come the first of November he will miss three matches

Determined to make the most of his opportunities before his enforced rest period he bangs in four against Wigan, including a hat-trick in four minutes, the first Turf Roar of episode two.

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 23: Sweet charity | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and happy Valentine’s Day to all you Champ lovers out there! Nick and his Portuguese Wolf pack have just enjoyed their best season yet, finishing runners-up in the Premiership. Can they build on it?…

The dust has barely settled after our final game, and I’m straight to work on the squad. Riccy is first to depart…

Nowhere I’d Radebe – Part 18: See you later, Agali-ator @Matt_C_Wills

Hello, this is definitely the last instalment of my Leeds African odyssey. If you’ve followed my ramblings so far, I hope I can do you proud on the final episode.

Firstly, a quick recap of where we sit, top, by a small margin, with 12 games left to play. Hoping we can retain the title, as we’re definitely scoring more goals than the other title hunters. Man Utd scoring only 1 goal a game is nuts.

Turf Roar: Season 1 – Part 1 | @Taitanator

This blog starts with a secret, a secret Santa.  I was gifted this beauty, Burnley’s 1994 Wembley away shirt. Funnily enough, my Irish grandad chose Burnley as his club when he arrived in Lancashire, so I’ve always had a soft spot for them, how did blog squad member @Matt_C_Wills know?

The challenge is obvious, try and win it all with The Clarets, the rules are these:

  • I can only sign players from The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (thanks Grandad) or any nation that begins with a B. (Burnley begins with a B, it’s incredibly innovative.)
  • There are a maximum of three wild card slots available in the match day squad, these can be taken up by:

i) Any French player, the Bene and Hot rule, (Burnley is the only team to serve the French liqueur Benedictine topped up with hot water, selling in excess of 30 bottles at each home game, thanks Wikipedia.)

ii) Any random player as long as they have been signed directly from the official Wikipedia rivals list. The Clarets official Wikipedia rivals are Blackburn, Accrington Stanley (not on the game), Blackpool, Bolton, Preston North End, Bradford and Leeds.

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 22: Figo or no? | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! It’s Friday, and time to visit Nick and his squad of Portuguese talent at Wolves, who are well-positioned in season 6 with 15 games left. Can they hang on for another European finish or perhaps even better? Here’s the man himself…

Liverpool are emulating their real life “Slot Machine” at the minute, and closing that 10-point gap is a lot to ask, but let’s see if we can at least give them a run for their money…

Nowhere I’d Radebe – Part 17: Flora Eyes Only | @Matt_C_Wills

Hello and happy Thursday Champman fans. We’re heading into the middle section of season six, where destiny shapes our season up and sees if we can keep on track for my African Leeds team to triumph at Europe’s top table.

The Canaries aren’t at it as we kick off this blog episode with a resounding win, even if we did ship two goals. Whilst we think we are becoming hard to beat, here’s our Graham with a quick reminder.
